come down here, man?

Come down these stairs

and walk right across the street

and go to tootsie's

for their beer after.

I mean, Hank Williams,

Kristofferson, you name it, man.

Standin' outside the mother

church of country music.

You know how many times

I listened to the grand ole Opry

from here, man?

They also did every episode

of the Johnny cash show in here.

I mean...

I can't believe this.

Hot damn.

Gee whiz. I mean, heh...

Holy mackerel.

This is unbelievable.

Let's find a place to stay.

This place look all right

to y'all?

- Sure.

- Yeah, it's fine.

Will you hand me

my coat back there, Mike?

Here you go.

Get us a couple rooms, huh?

All right, I'll start unloading.

Yeah, let's grab the gear first,

then we'll come back

for the bags.

Howdy.

You got two rooms available?

I'm gonna do two eggs

over-medium, if I can,

and some well-done bacon

and a side of well-done sausage.

It comes with home fries

and toast, okay?

Sure. Yeah.

White toast?

You got any biscuits or no?

Sold out for the day.

Okay, no problem.

Crispy bacon, sausage,

over-medium breakfast.

Oh, if you've got

maple syrup on the side,

that'd be great.

Well, my name's Sherri,

so if you need anything,

let me know, okay?

Hey, Sherri, I'm Wheeler.

Bobby, you want anything?

I'm good, man.

We grabbed somethin' earlier.

All right.

I have to ask,

what's up with the camera?

Oh, it's just my buddy Bobby

and his friend Mike,

they love

shootin' things. Mm!

Your toast is on its way.

Thank you, Sherri.

Looks good.

So what's up with the syrup?

Oh, uh...

My daddy ate this way

since I was young,

so he got me started on this.

Pork and syrup, nothin' like it.

Pork goes good

with about anything.

Mm.

You a musician, or...?

I'm a singer-songwriter.

I'm gonna try to play a few

open mics while I'm down here.

Why not?

You're in the right spot.

Yeah.

We just took a drive.

Needed to get out of town

for a little bit.

That's always fun.

Mm.

I like taking a map, hitting it,

decide where to go from there.

Yeah. Done a few

of those trips back in the day.

That was incredible. Thank you.

I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks, Sherri.

I'll see you next time.

All right.

Have a good day.

Welcome to music row.

Music row is to music

what wall street is to finance,

what Madison Avenue

is to advertising

and what Hollywood is to film.

And it's not just

about country music either.

All types of music

are represented here.

At the center of the circle

is a very famous sculpture.

The sculpture's called musica.

It's caused

a lot of controversy.

We're considered the buckle

of the Bible belt here.

We have over 800 churches.

A lot of our church leaders
